The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s.
NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.
Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.
When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return.
NAR is led by apostles believed to have been appointed by God. These apostles are delegated spiritual authority that grants them authority over the entire Church- which is one of the most controversial aspects of NAR.
NAR churches do not advertise that they are NAR. And just because a church adopts one or two NAR ideas, doesn’t mean they adopt them all.
Decentralization has been key to NAR’s rapid growth.
NAR rejects many traditional church teachings around the role of women in the church. Women can become apostles and pastors in NAR churches. The most famous one being Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White-Cain.
The 7 Mountain Mandate has become the most important idea with the NAR movement and the one to gain the most traction.
The 7MM dictates that Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to dominate the 7 most important aspects of society:
This idea was conceived in the 1970s but revived and refined in the 2013 book “Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate” by Lance Wallnou a televangelist and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church, a megachurch in Northern California.
As far as Charlie goes, these are the NAR names you need to know, in addition to those already listed above:
Rob McCoy: pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks California
Sean Feucht: former worship leader at Bethel church and 2020 Congressional candidate
Jack Hibbs: senior pastor of megachurch Calvary Chapel Chino Hills
David Lane: longtime Republican consultant and activist, member of Rob McCoy’s Godspeak Calvary Chapel
For the purposes of my threads, I think that’s enough intro. If you want to go down the NAP rabbit hole, and trust me, it’s DEEP, here are a few intro links with lots of additional links of their own:
The clip features Michael Evans, CEO of Friends of Zion, announcing a partnership with Blackboard to train 100,000 evangelical Christians as pro-Israel ambassadors in their home countries, aimed at defending Israel’s image and fighting antisemitism, which the author labels “disgusting” to critique Christian Zionism.
This initiative builds on evangelical theology viewing Israel as central to biblical prophecy, with FOZ leveraging edtech for scalable online courses; similar programs have trained thousands since 2018, per FOZ reports.
The video highlights a real December 2025 event where over 1,000 U.S. evangelical pastors and influencers visited Israel for a weeklong solidarity mission, the largest since 1948, aimed at combating antisemitism through pro-Israel advocacy in churches and media.
Attached video footage shows participants praying at the Western Wall and Temple steps, meeting rabbis, and emphasizing evangelical support for Israel as “God’s place for God’s people,” aligning with speakers like Mike Huckabee’s message that “pro-Bible is pro-Israel.”

UPDATE: This going to greatly damage Christianity if not kill it off altogether. These pastors should be required to register with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Older and less well-informed Christians may fall for this schtick but I doubt younger Americans will. ABN
In addition to setting the priorities for the United States focus, the report details the Trump administration perspective on the world as broken down into specific regions. The report is a brutally honest review of the current state of geopolitical benefits, risks and threats as they pertain to vital U.S. interests.
In addition to outlining a critically renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, the Trump administration also notes the practical position of Europe, as it pertains to NATO and dependency on the U.S.A.
In a brutally honest review of the situation, the Trump administration notes Europe is increasingly losing their own identity. The fear the Europeans express about being vulnerable to Russian strength is hypocritical, in the sense that in practical outcomes the EU is purposefully weakening itself and simultaneously demanding assistance against their own weakness.
[PAGE 25] – American officials have become used to thinking about European problems in terms of insufficient military spending and economic stagnation. There is truth to this, but Europe’s real problems are even deeper.
Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness. But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.
The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation.
This lack of self-confidence is most evident in Europe’s relationship with Russia.
European allies enjoy a significant hard power advantage over Russia by almost every measure, save nuclear weapons. As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.
Managing European relations with Russia will require significant U.S. diplomatic engagement, both to reestablish conditions of strategic stability across the Eurasian landmass, and to mitigate the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.
It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, in order to stabilize European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia, as well as to enable the post-hostilities reconstruction of Ukraine to enable its survival as a viable state.
The Ukraine War has had the perverse effect of increasing Europe’s, especially Germany’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in China, using Russian gas that they cannot obtain at home.
The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes. This is strategically important to the United States precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in political crisis.
Linda Sun, 42, had convinced Hochul — who served as Cuomo’s lieutenant governor at the time — to film a Lunar New Year video touting China’s New York consulate when she made the shocking comment, according to evidence presented at the ex-Albany aide’s corruption trial.
“She is much more obedient than the governor,” the accused Beijing mole wrote to China consular official Lihua Li in a Jan. 25, 2021, message shown to jurors in Brooklyn federal court.
Linda Sun, who allegedly served as a Chinese agent, once bragged that Kathy Hochul was “much more obedient” than Andrew Cuomo.
“The deputy governor listens to me more than the governor does,” Sun wrote in another text minutes later — punctuated with a sheepish grin emoji — sent to Huang Ping, who headed the consulate office at the time.
UPDATE: In common with almost all Westerners, including many who have spent years in China, Hochul has zero understanding of China and Chinese civilization.
You can see it in her eyes and in Sun’s description of her.
In the 19th and 20th Centuries, China was forced to come to terms with the West. It took them a long time.
In a very similar manner, the West in recent decades is being forced to come to terms with China.
We are doing no better with that than China did 150 years ago.
Like them, we are reacting to a fantasy of China, an enormous illusion.
I highly recommend that Westerners understand that all cultures are susceptible to decades, if not centuries, of confusion and disorientation when dealing with foreign powers they do not understand.
All cultures, including the West.
The West is also doing a terrible job of managing our relations with Russia, Israel, India, the Muslim world and Africa.
For China, it might be a good idea to consult more closely with very intelligent and knowledgeable Japanese.
They have been dealing with China for well over 1,000 years and even still made a major blunder by invading China in 1931.
That was a disaster they are still reeling from today.
Nonetheless, Japanese know more about China than Westerners do, and they know enough about about us to be good informants, while also benefitting from a more secure USA .
For Russia, I like what Trump appears to be doing. He seems to want an alliance with Russia based on real-world economic and political ties.
For China and other regions, I highly recommend not listening too much to academics, foreign policy experts, run-of-the-mill historians or anyone who has a dog in the fight or money on the table.
Trump is much better than most at this game, and this is a major reason I support his presidency.
I doubt Vance, or anyone else in the presidential bullpen right now, has the chops to replace Trump.
I hope there is someone somewhere in power in USA who has the street-smarts to contact and learn from people who genuinely understand the civilizations around the world that we must come to grips with and relate to for our own benefit and theirs.
Fake news, fake history, fake anthropology and fake foreign policy — all have a stupid and deeply naive side as well as a nefarious one.
People like Sun exploit the nefarious side. And she is just one of millions from across the world, Somalis included.
People like Hochul are on the naive side, deer in the headlights.
She is a poster fawn for virtually all Western politicians today. ABN
You have to understand. These people are NOT politicians as we understand the term. They do not represent the interests of their constituents. They’re political constructs. Bad actors sloppily regurgitating scripted rhetoric at the behest of their oligarchical overlords. All to provide the illusion of participatory governance to the peasantry. They represent an international oligarchical order and they’re desperate to hold on to power.
Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized “AUTOPEN,” within the Administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving “Pardons,” “Commutations,” or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
And well he should. The people who authorized or used the autopen without Biden’s knowledge committed serious crimes, which amount to a coup d’état, a treasonous usurpation of presidential powers. The migration invasion alone is an act of treason if the autopen was used to aid or abet it. ABN
The White House has paused all immigration applications from 19 countries and canceled citizenship ceremonies across the US, citing national security and public safety concerns.
The freeze could affect more than 1.5 million people who had asylum applications pending and more than 50,000 who received asylum grants under the Biden administration, The New York Times reports.
The new policy memorandum, released Tuesday night, cites last week’s ‘terror attack’ in D.C. where Afghan man Rahmanullah Lakanwal was arrested for allegedly killing one National Guard member and wounding another.
The ban applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen while the restricted access applied to people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
It puts a stop to all immigration related activities, including a temporary suspension on the completion of citizenship ceremonies, involving legal permanent residents of the 19 countries, per CBS News.
‘The Trump administration is making every effort to ensure individuals becoming citizens are the best of the best. Citizenship is a privilege, not a right,’ said US Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser.
Biden’s handlers funded and orchestrated a treasonous invasion of USA. We need even more correction than just this. I believe Trump will do more but has to manage politics and public opinion to be fully successful, hence the measured steps. ABN
MS NOW, citing three unidentified people with knowledge of the situation, said in an online report that Trump and his top aides had grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has generated.
They have confided to allies that the president is weighing removing Patel and considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey as his replacement.
This video that these elected Democrat officials are doing now is a call to arms to get the last remaining few people within the intelligence community, within the bureaucracy to stand up and fight and I think it’s outrageous — Grenell
THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I WILL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING THE MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE, WITH NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE MADE $TRILLIONS, AND RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE AND BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Congress, do not waste your time and energy on anything else. This is the only way to have great Healthcare in America!!! GET IT DONE, NOW. President DJT
For the better part of this year, I have been noticing publicly on the Twitter, and on these pages, how the financial interests of the global/political establishment elite, and a host of affiliated Technocrats formerly outlined as the Sea Island group, seemingly have been working an operation to divide MAGA.
That operation is to separate President Trump from his support base.
President Trump has been navigating this dynamic, sometimes failing -not surprisingly given the scope of the issue- yet keeping his focus on the larger objective, the ‘ultimate solutions’ approach he is known for.
ISRAEL – To wit, many people have criticized President Trump for being too close to Israeli interests. As if those voices do not understand the scale of institutional interests toward maintaining foreign influence in U.S. politics (perhaps many don’t). [Ex. If Ron DeSantis had won in ’24, right now we would be talking about forward operating USA bases in Iran]
Perhaps people criticized President Trump for attending the Knesset legislative session of Israel, yet did not notice the totally Trumpian move of calling out Mariam Adelson during those same remarks. In essence, President Trump candidly spotlit the very nature of the thing that people are upset about.
Trust me, you can tell from the nervous responses the local audience didn’t miss Trump’s words, nor what they meant. They were considerably jaw agape at the brutal honesty. That boss move did not win Trump any benefits there – RJC lack of attendance notwithstanding.
There is a reason Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt and Indonesia support President Trump as the ONLY one who can organize the solution to the Gaza conflict long-term. They have said they cannot see anyone else delivering a solution to this generational problem. Those middle east nations trust the humanitarian agenda of President Trump specifically, because he is strategically and objectively detached from the narrow agenda of Israel.
